Posted October 7, 200519 yr http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=944 scary as fucking shit. the world will go to hell in a handbasket if the internet disintegrates
October 7, 200519 yr If this happens, I have lost all faith in humanity: the whole point of the internet is it is a worldwide collective of data and information. If this happens, this is going to spread into real life: protests, riots....the internet is like a second world today. I mean, imagine what WoW players would say if they cant access their server because it's in a different partition of the internet? But then, the pressure is so big I doubt it will happen.
October 7, 200519 yr So, wait, clear this up for me. Is the internet going to split up and some people will be able to access some parts and some people will be able to access the other? I'm complety lost in what is happening

I'm complety lost in what is happening the un (quite rightly) says that the usa should not have as much control over the internet as they do now, so the only way it will get split up is if the usa is being an ass, in which case there would be two networks, the internet, and some sort of dumbass americanet

October 7, 200519 yr your an idiot... the internet has always been owned by USA.. they invented it, why should they give ownership to other countries yeah im sure there is going to be protests and riots because WoW players cant access a server... I'm not arguing the ownership, I'm arguing against the internet being split. And yes, WoW players will protest if they can't access their server. You know nothing of the internet.
October 7, 200519 yr If teh intarnutz does get split into two intarnutz (an American one and a ghey one) I guess you non-American myg0t members are shit out of luck.
October 7, 200519 yr It'll be like old school communist china! We'll need a group of hackers to start working on a backdoor for the internet now. Also, the internet, m4ggot, is for porn.
October 7, 200519 yr The internet is for porn! The internet is for porn! Why you think the net was born? Porn porn porn!
October 7, 200519 yr The internet is for porn! The internet is for porn! Why you think the net was born? Porn porn porn! Can I keep you in my basement? plz?
October 7, 200519 yr Yes for you that would be life over but some of dont play on computers all day every day and could survive without internet k oh and it owuld be funny to see all these internet companies like yahoo, google, ebay etc go bust
October 7, 200519 yr um USA invented the 'net, haven't you heard of the Pentagon? USA will control it since we made it and run it and have computers.
October 7, 200519 yr I can easily see a day where the internet is not global, where the US government chooses who and who cant access US based informations. 'Hey Iraq, you wanna fuck with us, there goes your global access to anything, hey North Korea, same to you'. I'm sure large companys that pay taxes and other fees that support the US will be allowed special privalages for communications and information transfer, but it's only a matter of time till we're back to a collective of networks that selectivly communicate. And as is obvious, the US will have the upperhand on who does what...
October 7, 200519 yr The internet is for porn! The internet is for porn! Why you think the net was born? Porn porn porn! Wrong. The internet is for rage!
October 7, 200519 yr Internet was created by DoD. Department of Defense. Derrrr. U.S goverment. Then some hawaiian noobs took that idea of the "net" and created AlohaNet for a school, basicly LAN to share files and shit. :ughwerd:
October 7, 200519 yr Iraq, you wanna fuck with us, there goes your global access to anything, hey North Korea, same to you'. I'm sure large companys that pay taxes and other fees that support the US will be allowed special privalages for communications and information transfer, but it's only a matter of time till we're back to a collective of networks that selectivly communicate. And as is obvious, the US will have the upperhand on who does what.. seriously stfu - wtf has internet got to do with iraq / north korea a.k.a fucking cunts with nuclear weapons, well probably - trust some nerd like you to say something like that
October 7, 200519 yr seriously stfu - wtf has internet got to do with iraq / north korea a.k.a fucking cunts with nuclear weapons, well probably - trust some nerd like you to say something like that Oh god are you dumb. I was saying the US will most likely bring the internet into politics as an isolation factor. If any country fucks with us, we will not allow them access to anything, wether the server owner, personal PC user, or whoever in america WANTS them to have access to it. Iraq and North Korea were examples, which are used to ILLUSTRATE potential uses. Any other things you need explained? I figured most people here could infer but obviously you lack that ability...
October 7, 200519 yr myg0t g0d the net was invented by an english guy actually k no it wasnt, the first computer was built in england
October 7, 200519 yr no it wasnt, the first computer was built in england greeneyes, do you post on the Ogrish forums?
October 7, 200519 yr computers != internet. If the internet splits up the U.S will probably charge other countries to have use to it. or there might be multiple incompatible internets that would be much easier to monitor and no more pirate file sharing :(.
